SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you convert an existing phase into a vertical MVP slice so planning stays focused on one user outcome instead of a broad feature backlog.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • User story capture: Gathers a structured As a / I want to / So that story for the phase.
  • SPIDR splitting check: Evaluates whether the story is too large and should be split across spike, paths, interfaces, data, and rules.
  • Roadmap update and delegation: Writes the phase to MVP mode in ROADMAP.md and then hands off to the phase-planning workflow.

Quick Start

Use the gsd-mvp-phase skill to convert phase 2 into MVP mode for the user story "As a developer, I want to compare terminal sessions side by side so that I can debug faster."

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a roadmap phase into an MVP slice?

Converting a roadmap phase into an MVP slice requires capturing a structured user story, validating it through SPIDR splitting, updating ROADMAP.md, and delegating to the phase planning workflow for detailed execution.

What is SPIDR splitting for user stories?

SPIDR splitting evaluates whether a user story is too large for an MVP slice by checking it across spike, paths, interfaces, data, and rules to ensure focused vertical delivery.

How do I structure a user story for MVP phase planning?

Structure your user story for MVP phase planning using the As a, I want to, So that format to capture the user outcome, which the skill then validates before updating the roadmap.

Does MVP phase planning require an existing roadmap phase?

Yes, MVP phase planning requires an existing roadmap phase. The skill performs a roadmap phase existence check and relies on guarded user input handling before annotating MVP mode.

When should I split a phase into a vertical MVP slice instead of a broad backlog?

Split a phase into a vertical MVP slice when planning must focus on a single user outcome rather than a broad feature backlog, ensuring the slice delivers end-to-end value.
